Easter Sunday, 1902, deep in the Carnarvon Ranges a police constable and station manager are slain then later incinerated, their remains stuffed into saddlebags. Accused of the ghoulish crime are two members of the bushranging Kenniff gang, fast gaining notoriety as Queensland's equivalent of the Kelly gang.

"En augustimorgon år 1911 smyger en man osedd ut genom en bakdörr på konstmuseet Louvren i Paris. Tätt intill kroppen bär han en tavla, väl dold under kläderna.

I "Miljonkupp och rån" skildras några av historiens mest spektakulära, och ibland uppfinningsrika, rån. Som rånet då elva mön iklädda Halloweenmasker kom undan med det största bytet i USAs historia, eller när en man utklädd till tomte rånar en bank den 23 december.

Sensommaren 1994 plågades Köpenhamn och Fredriksberg av en våldsam rånare, som angrep ensamma expediter och hotade dem med kniv.

A Ponzi scheme was exposed, and a prominent Manhattan hedge fund imploded. Enterprising intern and financial wizard-in-training Gerti Muho saw it as an opportunity.

Även polisen kom att ta åt sig namnet som arbetsnamn under spaningen och utredningen. Indirekt var det ligamedlemmarna själva som skapade namnet genom att skickligt klä sig så att de naturligt kom att smälta in i miljön där rånen genomfördes.
